Autonomy Corp. to acquire Blinkx

On April 25, software company Autonomy Ltd. said it is exercising an option to acquire video search engine Blinkx, which it wants to completely revamp and then relaunch at a later date.

Autonomy's technology is used by Blinkx. The company said it would spin off its consumer division, which is responsible for developing and applying its technology. The new division is to be called Blinkx PLC.

The new company would focus exclusively on the consumer market, while Autonomy would cater primarily to the enterprise market.

In October 2006, Blinkx signed a deal with Microsoft Corp. to incorporate its search functions into the software giant's MSN Live.com services.

Overall, Blinkx uses Autonomy's technology to index video from CNN, BBC and YouTube, among other broadcast and Internet services. The videos can then be searched on Blinkx's Web site or others that license its underlying technology.

The company employs speech recognition capabilities to extract search data, which it uses to index some six million hours of online video, audio and TV programming. Read more...
